Interview with a vampire tv series gay
Bisexuality in the book
Amid rave reviews, praising the unused AMC series for &#;finally letting the vampires be gay&#;, the conversation about the show&#;s treatment of bisexuality is silenced. To describe the show&#;s accept on bisexuality in one word, it is complicated. Simultaneously erased, elevated, trodden down, associated with corrupt , seductiveness, villainy, privilege, release, and queerness. Laden with rich meaning, some of the scenes form a master class in cinematic storytelling through bisexuality, while others are the epitome of classic biphobia.
This is going to be a series of articles in which I show how Interview With the Vampiretakes the source material’s bisexuality and turns it into ambivalent biphobia, by depicting it as simultaneously oppressive and liberatory. I&#;ll examine bisexual erasure, the meanings given to bisexuality, and explain how these ultimately reveal bisexuality’s subversive dominance against dominant social structures.

Interview With the Vampire Is the Best Show Almost Nobody Is Watching
Perhaps no channel better encapsulates what my colleague Sam Adams defined as the conclude of Peak TV and the start of Trough TV like AMC and its neglected streaming arm AMC+, a service that is unfamiliar to virtually everyone I know. Gone are the days of Mad Men, Breaking Bad, and even Better Phone Saul, which ended two years ago with less fanfare than you would think. Now AMC mainly treats us to an ever-expanding roster—six and counting, by my estimation—of uneven spin-offs of The Walking Dead. Middling zombie IP can only take you so far; where’s the next great show from the former network titan of prestige programming? The answer is a series that has been here all along and is, in fact, well into its second season: Anne Rice’s Interview With the Vampire.
